Striated bedrock, Greenland. |
These different glaciers produce
a wide range of different landforms and landscapes, at a range of scales.
For example we can consider landforms and landscapes of
erosion ranging from individual glacial striaions (made where the ice drags
boulders or pebbles across the bedrock) to huge areas of scoured and polished
topography, and including the "text-book" scale landforms such as U-shaped
valleys, corries, and pyramid peaks.
